Monokel approaches eyewear the way good Scandinavian design approaches almost everything else: strip away the unnecessary and focus on getting the fundamentals right. Founded in Stockholm in 2011, the label has built a loyal following through thoughtfully designed frames that favour longevity over trends and simplicity over excess.
That philosophy extends from design to construction. Most frames are crafted from plant-based acetate and fitted with Carl Zeiss Vision® lenses, while each pair is handcrafted through a meticulous production process that can take up to three months. The result is eyewear that's easy to wear, and impossible to tire of.
